Dreams come true...WDW 8/30-9/16

[LindaBabe]

You poor dears! Thank GOODNess for the father in law!

 

[John's Mom]

I just want to thank you for posting about your family's wonderful adventures. I've really enjoyed reading it. Great pictures, too!

Best wishes on your next bundle of joy and I'll keep your father in my prayers.

 

[MouseTriper]

Oh Jay....so glad to hear that your father-in-law is coming to help out a bit. I bet that will be a relief for you guys. Getting the baby furniture ready and setting up the Christmas decorations may just be better than what the doctor ordered!!! I am sure both those things will lift your spirits!!!

Dinner for two!

After our cabana day, we had a very special meal planned for dh and I. We were going to eat at Narcoosee's...just the two of us!! In order to do that, we had to convince the boys to go to a Disney kid's club again (OH YEAH, that was hard!! ). This time we would be doing the Neverland Club at the Poly. For some reason, when we had booked this meal the week before in the AKL concierge lounge, they told us that the Mouseketeer club at the GF would be closed this night? I have no idea if that was actually so or not, we never did check on it.

While dh took the monorail over to the Poly to drop off the boys, I rested a bit and then got ready. We should have had plenty of time for dh to get the boys to the Poly and then to get back to the GF and meet me in our room for the short walk over to Narcoosee's from the Sugarloaf building...however, it started to rain while dh and the boys were waiting for the monorail...and by rain, I do mean pour. Dh said that by the time the monorail picked them up, it was crowded with wet people who had been in the parks all day. He said it was not the best smelling monorail ride ever. Boy, am I ever glad I missed out on that! He also said some "crazy woman" (his name for her) had picked up a frog (yes, a real live cousin of Kermit) and brought him with her on the monorail. He said that in this overstuffed standing room only monorail car filled with dripping wet people the "crazy woman" had to start showing off her frog, as you can imagine, it was not the best of ideas. One of the other women got panicked by the sight of the frog. Another little toddler started crying. In all of the chaos, dh said that the "crazy woman" lost the frog. It simply hopped out of her hand and into the jam packed monorail car...dh said the panicked woman who had been simply upset and scared looking/saying frogs need not be on the monorail was now almost in tears, loudly asking "where is that nasty frog", "where is that gross thing" and kept hopping from foot to foot (which caused her to rub against other people around her) and the toddler then realized the frog was "out" and started shrieking and climbing up his mom's body. Dh said it would have been funny at the time...other then it was stinky, loud and jam packed.

Dh also said it was about this time that the monorail had to stop due to lightening. So...there he was, stuck in the monorail with the smelly, dripping wet people, an escaped frog, our three boys, a panicked woman, a shrieking toddler and his exasperated parents, a "crazy woman" who kept calling for her frog by way of "here froggy froggy" and looking around like she expected it to come to her and to top it all off, the time was ticking by and he knew he still needed to shower/get dressed before dinner.

Dh said it was about 10 minutes into this "ordeal" (his words again)our boys started to worry about the frog. They kept asking him what would happen to the frog, would it get squished, would it get killed, would it get smashed, where was the frog. He said he was busy comforting them that the frog was surely hiding somewhere in the monorail car alive and well staying away from the people while the husband of the panicked woman was busy loudly telling his wife that the frog must have been squished to death by now and she should calm down. Eventually the monorail started to move once again and dh and the boys did make it to the Poly. Dh said they never did see what happened to the frog...so if one day you should hear a croaking while riding the monorail...

Notice how much detail I got from dh about this incident, this 20 minute monorail ride was described with way more detail (and words) then the entire day he spent at Blizzard Beach with "Aladdin" and "Stitch"!! Leave it to a man!

By the time dh finally made it back we had only 15 minutes until dinner, he showered faster then I thought humanly possible and was dressed and ready within 10 minutes. I was mightily impressed with his supersonic showering/getting ready abilities. I must say, I think I may be married to a real live Dash.

Quick change accomplished, dh and I headed over to Narcoosee's. The leisurely stroll I had envisioned did not take place, but it was still a nice walk (without pause). When we arrived, I was instantly overjoyed with the views I saw out of the windows! AMAZING! Water level looking straight out to the Magic Kingdom!

Dh and I checked in and sat down to wait, within minutes, we were being seated...

TO BE CONTINUED...

Hilarious....I bet your really bummed you missed out on all that fun

 

[LindaBabe]

Hilarious....I bet your really bummed you missed out on all that fun

NOT! would be my guess. But it sure does make a funny story!

 

[MouseTriper]

Oh my goodness that has got to be the most HILARIOUS story ever!!! I can just picture the whole "ordeal" in my head.....way too funny!!!!!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

That poor frog! That woman definitly was crazy,for picking up the frog in the first place and secondly for thinking it was a brillant idea to bring it on the monorail.

Makes for a funny story though.

 

[momoftriplets]

OMG!!!!! That story is TOOOOOOOOO funny!!

I don't mind frogs, but that doesn't mean I want to be in a packed monorail car with one! My DD#2, on the other hand, would have been FREAKING OUT!!

That woman really could have caused a panic!

I loved what you said. Your DH told you the ENTIRE story, but barely said a word about their great day at the waterpark. Men........

What did the boys tell you about the frog when they got back?

 

[pixe*dst]

Great frog story--I can't imagine the chaos of that monorail car. Can't wait to hear about your dinner.

 

[MouseTriper]

Anxiously awaiting the next post!!!

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Great update. I was thinking of you during our trip and took some of the little tips you gave me. Great fun we had!!!! I cant wait to hear the rest.

 

[MadiMouse]

Wow! I am in the bed sick and I have been reading your trip review for the past couple of hours and you have brightened my day!

We're back from the most wonderful, magical, amazing place on earth and it was a dream!! I can't even begin to describe how much this trip meant to us -- our faces were sore from smiling so much! We got dreams from the Dream Team, ate a ton of great food, and talked with wonderful people. Every morning when I got my ECV, I thought of you and it sure made my trip possible! (And no bad attitudes from anyone!)

I'm going to try and write a trip report -- with my chemo brain, I'll need some help from my daughter!! We've decided to call it "Travels With Dory"!!

How is the newest prince in there doing? And how is the hubby's back? Take it easy and keep those feet up!

Hugs and Kisses to all!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Hey Jay I've been MIA for awhile here, but I'm all caught up now! Your frog story was too funny, although I'm sure DH wasn't laughing at the time! What was that "crazy woman" thinking bringing a frog onto the monorail - gotta wonder about some people

Hope all is well with you, the baby, DH & your dad!

Skygirl, I'll sign on for that one!

Meanwhile, It's been over a week since we heard from you, Jay, and I'm a little concerned. I hope it's just holiday preparations and resting that's keeping you away from your faithful fans! Take care!

Hilarious....I bet your really bummed you missed out on all that fun

Uh...umm..yeah...totally bummed. HA HA HA. NOT!!!

NOT! would be my guess. But it sure does make a funny story!

I thought it was hilarious...I would loved to have seen a video of it...just not a "smell-o-vision" version!

Oh my goodness that has got to be the most HILARIOUS story ever!!! I can just picture the whole "ordeal" in my head.....way too funny!!!!!

Me too! I still get quite a good giggle over thinking about it!!

That poor frog! That woman definitly was crazy,for picking up the frog in the first place and secondly for thinking it was a brillant idea to bring it on the monorail.

Makes for a funny story though.

I know, I keep thinking who is "bright" enough to bring a frog on the monorail.

OMG!!!!! That story is TOOOOOOOOO funny!!

What did the boys tell you about the frog when they got back?

The boys were all worried about that little frog. When we rode the monorail the next day we had to "look" for it.

Great frog story--I can't imagine the chaos of that monorail car. Can't wait to hear about your dinnner.

Coming right up! Dinner...that will be my very next post.

Anxiously awaiting the next post!!!

Update coming right up!

Great update. I was thinking of you during our trip and took some of the little tips you gave me. Great fun we had!!!! I cant wait to hear the rest.

OH I cannot wait to hear about your trip!! What tips did you use? I hope they helped! Please do post a link to your trip report.

Wow! I am in the bed sick and I have been reading your trip review for the past couple of hours and you have brightened my day!

Awww, I hope you are feeling better. Glad you are enjoying our trip reflections!

Travels with Dory! That sounds GREAT!! DO NOT FORGET TO LINK US TO YOUR REPORT! *yes, I was yelling* I cannot wait to hear all about it. The newest little guy is hanging in there. Things are still a bit "tense" and I am on bedrest...but things could always be worse. I keep telling myself that. Dh is trying something called spinal decompression, if that doesn't work out then he will have no choice but to have surgery. So far so good. He is not totally out of pain...but he is a lot better. Well, not so good that he can go out and go to work meetings, but at least he is walking more then a step or two before he cannot go any further. Hopefully he will respond well to the treatments. I have all of my fingers and toes crossed (including the baby's ) and I am sending up loads of prayers. I just want my healthy dh back!

My dad is holding steady. Which is VERY frustrating for him...he was told he would be up and walking the same afternoon of the surgery and here it is MONTHS later and he is still waiting to get up and walk. I am so anxious to get to him. I keep telling myself it will be no more then two months at most...and I will get to introduce him to his newest little grandson. That thought keeps me from going stir crazy!

Skygirl, I'll sign on for that one!

Meanwhile, It's been over a week since we heard from you, Jay, and I'm a little concerned. I hope it's just holiday preparations and resting that's keeping you away from your faithful fans! Take care!

It's been resting/just being sort of funky. I have made myself a promise though, I WILL write another installment tomorrow. I really do miss my trip report friends...you guys don't know how much it means to be able to log on and see good wishes on the worst days.

So...tomorrow...another installment!! That's a promise!!

Along with my promise I will share a special picture...

Here is our sweet little prince to be:

The strange shapes on the side of his head is a mostly erased arm/fist and umbilical cord. He doesn't have huge bat ears. HA HA HA Which is the first thing I had to ask the ultrasound doctor when I saw the picture (HA HA HA). I just love this one of him. He looks a lot like "Stitch" did as a baby (to me) and keeping his little hands up near his face is just like his bigger brother, "Goofy". All of his ultrasound pictures (Goofy's) had his hands covering at least part of his face. Thankfully technology has improved since we were getting ultrasound pictures of "Goofy" and they were able to "erase" the arm/cord to get a more clear picture of his sweet little face!!

Just wanted to share. NEXT UP-Narcoosee's!!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

How sweet

You must be getting so excited!

 

[RachelTori]

Awwwww, your sweet little baby! Amazing that they can get that clear a picture of the little guy! Take care of yourself, mommy! Lots of pixie dust for your DH and your Dad.

 

[jess98ac]

Looking forward to the next installment! Thanks for sharing that picture...we go for our next ultrasound on 1/3...we decided not to find out the sex, but it will still be so exciting to see the little bean!
